I also read/learned mixed in with some trial & error that these cables matter too, so I upgraded my cabling to CAT-7 and utilizing Thunderbolt 4 cable (with the #4 stamped on the cable) for the SSD enclosure link.

parallel plotting option selected with the amount set to the max of 29 plots.My GUI settings while plotting Chia on M1 mini with 1TB Samsung 970pro M.2 NVMe (UGREEN M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure USB C 3.1 Gen 2 External Enclosure) are as follows: I erase the SSD via disk utility after running each lot of 29 plots. On average, I’ve been able to get 13 -15 plots per 24/hr period (usually 14 lately) based on the timestamps of the plots in the final destination folder. Still, I can only imagine a 32GB or 64GB M2 or MX, etc., setup running a modified Madmax or Plot manager natively in the future, but until then…

So this breakdown below is simply utilizing the regular GUI program. Started copy to /Volumes/WDE_EXFAT/plot-k32-16-35-8f0xxx4Ĭopy to /Volumes/WDE_EXFAT/ot finished, took 1140.87 sec, 90.978 MB/s avg.ĭoes anyone see where the bottleneck is and what I can do about it?

Total plot creation time was 12439.8 sec (207.33 min) Phase 3 took 2713.89 sec, wrote 21877261801 entries to final plot Table 7 rewrite took 234.822 sec, dropped 0 entries (0 %) chia_plot -n 8 -r 8 -w -u 256 -t /Volumes/Crucial/ -2 /Volumes/Samsung/ -d /Volumes/WDE_EXFAT/ -c ID -f ID I’m a bit surprised because everyone raves about the high speed of the M1 Mac.

Now I’ve added a Samsung MU-PA1T0B/EU Portable SSD T5 1 TB USB 3.1 as a temp 2 drive but I’m still over 3 hours. I’ve been trying to get some reasonable performance out of a Mac Mini M1 with 16GB RAM and a Crusial X8 1TB SSD as a temp drive for two days now, but I’m still over 3 hours per plot.
